Confederate Battle.Flags.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 49,
The pheasant duty" as Adjutant-
General Drum calls it, of sorting and
preparing the rebel flags captured by
the Union soldiers at the cost of
countless lives, for transmission to
the Governors of Southern States is
progressing rapidly at the War De-
partment. Five hundred and forty
five Confederate battle-fags are being
packed for delivery to those whom
President iCleyeland chooses to treat
as the legitimate successors of the
States OF the Confederacy. 1t has
not been possible to discover who is
responsible for this performance. But
the fiat of the Admission has gone
forth, and these flags are being made
ready for shipment to Southern cap
itals. The President is said to haye
given the order before he left for his
vacation. It has not been ascertained
whether he or Secretary Endicott
originated the idea. Both appear to
warmly approve it. So far as is known
in the offices of the department where
such things should be known, there
has been no formal correspondence
upon the subject beyond the order
and the circular letter written by
Adjt. Gen. Drum by direction of the
President.
COLUMBUS, o., June 15.-The vet.
Grams of the Union army residing in
Ohio have been suddenly aroused by
the recent order of the War Depart
ment directing the return of captured
rebel flags to the Governors of the
late So called Confederate States. The
Ohio veterans have been very much
shocked by the acts of the present
reform Administration, but nothing
has occurred that has so thoroughly
aroused their indignation as the out
rageous order to return rebel flags
that cost so many lives and 80 much
blood to gain. The Indignation is not
confined to the old soldiers, but is
denounced on all sides by Democrats
and Republicans. During the day
kilograms have been pouring in upon
Gov. Foraker urging him to make
an emphatic protest against the pro-
mitigation of the order. and especially
against the return of rebel flags cap
tured by Ohio troops. A large num-
Der of rebel flags are in the relic
room of the State House, and it will
require something more than the
order Of the present Secretary of War
to take them away. The following
dispatch goes to show the sentiment
of the ex.soldiers, and citizens -
HILLsBoRo. o., June Is.
To J. B. Foraker, Governor, CoIuns-
bus
The old soldiers of Hillsboro hope
yon will not give up any captured
rebel flags in the State House at Col
umbus. Intense feeling here among
the boys who wore the blue,
Z. CARSON.
In answer to the above the Cover
nor dispatched the following tele-
gram:
COLUMBUS, o., June Is, 1887.
To e. Carson, HiLLS60ro, o.:
No rebel flags will be surrendered
while am Governor.

A PHILOSOPHER OF THE FARM.
From TIE Minnesota Forner.l

We have in our neighborhood a phi
losophieally inclined old darkey, a
regular Uncle Remus, in many re-
Spects. Some one dubbed him " Soc
rates, and the boys and the irrevcrent
generally call him Old Soc, for short.
The old fellow strayed out this way
from Herkimer county, y. Y, where
for several years he had been doing
chores among the dairymen of that
region. Old Soc IS no mean observer,
and he has picked mp heap of dairy
lore which he serves up 70 his acqUaint-
ances in sententiOus sentences of plain
African descent. Many Of these the
neighbors have jotted down from time
TO time, and | have gathered them up
and will give you a few specimens,
some OF which contain as wise sugges-
tons IS one will usually hear at dali

The Leprosy Cases at Philadelphia.

Mrs. Isabelle Miraude has been liv-
ing with her little girl at Philadelphia
for nearly two years, and both are
afflicted with leprOsy-a disease which
has excited the fear and disgust of
mankind for centuries. Relatives have
been caring for these unfortunates, but
at the beginning of the present month
the case was reported to the city
health department, and Saturday moth
er and daughter were sent to the mu-
nicipal hospital for contagious diseases.
Mrs. Miraude came from the class
known as "Pennsylvania Dutch" and
was married at the age of IL to a Bra
lillian. They lived happily together
i'm Philadelphia for 10 years, during
which time two healthy children were
born to them. In 1872, the woman
went with her husband to Brazil,
where he became captain of Il trading
steamer which piled as far us San An
tonic, the headquarters of the Amazon.
The fatal disease was contracted at
San Antonio three or four years ago.
At that time Miraude and his wife took
dinner with a party of natives and
were poisoned by the strange and
nOxiOus food which they ate. A fort
night afterward Miraude was seized
with the symptoms of leprosy and
three weeks later he died. The wo-
man perceived the same symptoms on
herself, during her husbands illness.
She has suffered from the dread disease
ever since, but has improved ever
since her return to this country. The
child is not so much affected as the
mother. 1t is unlikely that Mrs. Mi
raude and her daughter can be kept
very long in the hospital, on account
of the danger to other patients and the
risk of spreading the disease through
the country.

A Genuine Sea Serpent Found.
GprinafeLd Republican.


w. III. Hand and Harry Ludinum of
Cape May found a dead sea serpent at
Sewells point a few days ago. What
appeared to be a stranded log at first
was found to be marine monster liz
#. long and two #. thick. An old fish
erman said "By gosh, it's the same
chap l saw last summer off the inlet,
where l was hunting up blue fish. The
darned thing popped up alongside my
boat and reared its head high in the
water. That's the same creature and
no mistake" just back of its head,
which is shaped like whales from
which point the body tapers gradually
to its pointed tail, thick hair covers its
shark like skin, and a mouth big
enough to take in one of the discover
ers was found armed with sharp, cut
ting teeth. A local naturalist has tax
en- the job of locating him in the ami
nal world. The reptile was often seen
in his palmy days along the coast; at
least there are many who say so. 1t
has been eaten in part 10y birds.
